Less time in the sunshine has left you feeling tired, achy or less bright? You may be suffering from a lack of vitamin D due to less daylight.

Government advice is that everyone should consider taking a daily vitamin D supplement during the autumn and winter to help with potential symptoms and side effects.

Over 40 clinical and non-clinical staff came together on 23rd October in the Lawton House Digital Studio for a face to face induction session as an Agent of Change (ACE).

The session was facilitated by members of the Orbis Core Project Team and saw 40 ACEs from across a range of services come together. The ACE network is in the early stages of development so to have so many staff attend was fantastic. The session provided an opportunity to meet other ACE’s, share ideas and to hear more about the key focus areas for 2025/26, including Orbis.

The ACEs were treated to a personal welcome by the digital face of the Orbis project - Orbi - in his first outing as a moving, talking avatar. They also received initial induction training via the Combined Touchscreen Training (CTT) facility - in the specially designed Orbis Digital Training Room.

Agents of Change will support innovation and change across the Trust playing a crucial role in the successful rollout, training and overall adoption of systems that support clinical processes within their team or across the directorate.

A recent partnership between our young person's inpatient unit at the Darwin Centre and Wavemaker Stoke has led to the addition of a brand-new Chromebook on the unit.

With this new equipment, the young people have been able to use the Chromebook to access courses from the Open University about health and nutrition and to search for recipes during their cooking sessions.

It's clear to see that the partnership and the Chromebook has already proven to be an invaluable resource for learning.

Thanks to Wavemaker for their support!

NHS guidance states that during the autumn and winter, you need to get vitamin D from your diet because the sun is not strong enough for the body to make vitamin D.

But since it's difficult for people to get enough vitamin D from food alone, everyone (including pregnant and breastfeeding women) should consider taking a daily supplement containing 10 micrograms of vitamin D during the autumn and winter.

We’ve been sharing examples of staff members at the trust who take their vitamin D supplements to help them throughout the winter
